You should get around +20 or so bump in peak HP & Torque if you've gone with a reputable tuning shop. Its the performance improvement across the entire power band however that is going to put (and keep) the smile on your face for a long time!

I have been considering ordering the Xcal3 from from american muscle, but do you get custom tunes with it? I know they advertise custom tunes but I have heard that all they give you is a tune they have on file that closely matches your car/mods. Does anyone know if there is any truth to that?

+1 on the Brenspeed or Bama tune. Definately better than AM's tunes. Typical gains are from 15-25 or more RWHP.
